But won't this level of transparency hurt profits?
3 comments

It certainly would if only one bank did it. However such a rule would have to be evenly applied. My belief is that this would drive down volatility in markets since it would end the game of "Old Maid" in a crisis. Depending on how many institutions were under this rule, trading volumes may decrease, although I could argue this the other way as well.
Adapt or die.
what if it is not real time, but delayed by a few days or weeks? Will it still hurt profits?
